Shelley Duncan, who has managed the Yankees’ Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliate for the past four seasons, is reported to be leaving to join the Boston Red Sox’s big-league staff.
Both outlets describe the move as a cross-town shift between rival organizations, presenting it as a staff addition rather than a player transaction. The reporting differs mainly in emphasis: one highlights the “poaching” framing of a Yankees staff member joining the Red Sox, while the other focuses on Duncan’s specific current role with the Yankees’ Triple-A team and the expected transition to Boston’s major-league operations.
